SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 739,638, dated September 272, '1903.

Application led March t, 1903- To MZ whom/ it may con/cern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. BnYLoR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fredericksburg, in the county of Spottsylvania and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Brushes, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to toiletfbrusheaand particularly to that class of such devices provided with receptacles and inclosing means for receiving a comb, hair pins, and other toilet articles employed in dressing the hair.

The object of the invention is to produce a brush so arranged that a comb and other hairdressing articles may be conveniently carried in the back thereof and accessible through the medium of a hinged cover bearing a mirror, and thus embodying in one article in compact form such devices as are necessary in 'putting up or arranging the hair.

, claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the brush embodying the features of the invention and showing the lid and cover thereof closed. Fig. 2 is a similar view show# ing the lid or cover open. Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal section of the brush, as shown, arranged by Fig. 1.

Similar numerals of reference are employed to indicato corresponding parts in allligures of the drawings.

The numeral l designates a brush-back' having a handle 2 projecting therefrom, and secured to the back are a series of bristles 3, as in ordinary brush construction. In the back 1 and opening through the upper side thereof are a series of longitudinally-extending compartments 4, and 6, separated by longitudinal partitions 7 and normally closed by a hinged cover 8, having a mirror 9 in the upper surface thereof, and a fastening device IO, cooperating with a catch device 11, located adjacent to one side edge of the back 1. The fastening and catch devices are countersunk, so as to avoid forming surface p rojections. The compartment 5 is centrally located and continues into alongitudinal pocket seria No. 146,155. uro man.)

compartment 5 is provided with a clearance or upward bevel cut 13.

The compartment 5 and pocket 12 continuing therefrom are toreceive a comb, as shown by Fig. 2, and when inserting thecomb in or withdrawing the sam'evfrom the said compartment or pocket it is slightly bent, the beveled clearance`l3 facilitating the operation of inserting and withdrawing the comb` without injuring the latterf The compartments 4 and 6 are adapted to receive hair-pins and other small articles used by ladies in putting up the hair. When the cover 8 is closed, the small articles in the compartments 4 and 6 will be prevented from falling out of the brush, and it is proposed in connecting the lid or cover to dispose the main portions or leaves of the hinges therefor on the inside, so as to avoid surface projection of the said hinges as much as possible.

vIhe improved device will be found exceptionally useful, particularly in traveling, as anumberof articles' canY be compactly carried in the brush without requiring separate inclosures therefor or of assembling such separate inclosuresv in order to use the hair-pins and other devices held in the brush. It is also proposed to vary the proportions and dimensions of the several parts of the improved device at will.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new isy A brush', having a back with a handle integrally projected from one end of the back, the said handle being made in a single piece, the back having a central compartment confinned into the handle in the form of a pocket which is accessible solelyfrom the compartment in the back, the back also having other compartments on opposite sides of the central compartment,and a hinged cover to close over the compartments in the back, the bottom wall of the central compartment in the back continuing in a straight line into the bottom wall of the pocket in the handle and the up- ICD per Wall of the pocket at the point where it In testimony whereof I affix my signature communicates with the central compartment in presence of two witnesses. being cut away at an upward angle of inclination whereby a comb may be longitudinally 5 inserted in and withdrawn from the pocket Witnesses:

in the handle and also to be partially held in A. B. BOTTS, the central compartment. SUSIE C. WHITEHOUSE.
